Perfect shorts for summer! Keep in mind this one has a button closure and not a zipper. Deep pockets that will actually hold your phone or keys.

501s for ever!

a month ago
Love the New Look Dark Wash! Just got out my summer clothes and I have a plethora of 501 shorts in 28 and 29. For buyers, they do stretch. I have 28s from 10 years ago that are now a good 3 inches bigger than the 29s that just arrived. After wash, use a wooden hanger to stretch to your content and eureka! I've got a size 30 on the way (the largest I've ever ordered) to see if they fit loosely on the go. Thanks Levi's for the great sale!

These shorts are very flattering but seem to run a little small. I normally wear a 30 in high rise jeans, but had to go to a 31 with these shorts. Love them!

Make more clean cut hemmed shorts

Its a really great fitting short but its sad that there are only 2 options for a clean hem. Not everyone wants to walk around with broken looking shorts.

Fun shorts for vacation with my wife.

6 months ago
Good fit for my wife- she grabbed a size 25 (26.25 inch waist per Levi’s size chart). She is five foot, 10 inches tall and athletic/slim build. Sizing seems to be in keeping with the size chart online. They are high cotton content denim, so they will “wear in” slightly with time.
Q: Size Usually Worn
A: Size 2 or size 25 to 26 in Levi’s
Q: Size Purchased
A: Size 25 in these shorts.

cheeky but cute

7 months ago
I found these shorter than I’m used to and they get shorter as the little frays fall out, but I ended up wearing them a lot this summer anyway because they were comfy and secure. High-waisted but not in a bulky way like some shorts are. They’re basically white since the purple is so light.

SO CUTE!!!

8 months ago
I love these shorts!! They are adorable! I have them in two colors!!! The only thing I wish was different about this brand was the sizing. SOO inconsistent. I wanted a size 26 but when the order came one wss the size of a 25. I ordered a 26 so they would be looser and less restricting. Please send the right sizes next time
